Grand knuckle material

[Roger Jolly]

Hi All,
        The synthetic materials ( corfam ) was not used on Baldwin grand
knuckles to my knowlege.  D.H. Baldwins a different story. These
instruments were manufactured by Samick, The inherent problems with these
pianos is well known, rub a generous quantity of powdered teflon into the
material to get rid of the sqeaks and groans. If a clunky noise is the
problem, don't waste your time trying to find a solution, just replace the
knuckles with a higher quality product.
Best regards to all.
